Oh, that's just gorgeous! I know right? I love it when she makes him look properly terrifying.

I'm actually hoping we get to see a darker side to Solas in this new game. As a new protagonist, I don't think they will make us want to sympathize with him from a role playing stance. At least not until later in the story.

So... First time posting in this thread. but i am Solas trash.
the reason I am posting is because I have a band who i feel like is Solas/Lavellen in music form. they are kinda atmospheric alternative band called Les Friction.
highlights for Solas lovers: "Our World will fail" " Who will save you now?" and "I remember" feat Emily Valentine
reading the lyrics and hearing the songs..I get serious Solas vibes. anyways...um..BYE!

Yes, welcome aboard, Adni. For those of you not keeping up on the twitter thread, #SolasRelevantStuff: Riah @tezariahdoes Solas actually know how to shapeshift or is that forbidden knowledge? Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesYes. Whether he could do so pre-power-up (ie, could’ve done so in DAI if we had had gameplay to support that) is up for debate. And Cori Nicole @genevraelIn preparation for editing #TheDreadWolfRises, I have now picked up five different versions of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah for my playlists. Emily (aka Domino) Taylor pentapodFinally we know what those five dark orbs on the #DreadWolfRises tapestry REALLY symbolize! 😄 Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesYou're doing the Maker's work, ma'am. Cori Nicole @genevraelNever. #dreadwolf4eva

It's a self portrait, guys. His self-portrait is literally a giant wolf monster, I thought this was obvious.

Yeah, but they've always shied away from confirming he could shapeshift when asked before, so.
Also, I will never get over Solas' pose in that picture.

It's a self portrait, guys. His self-portrait is literally a giant wolf monster, I thought this was obvious. It could always have been a stylised or symbolic self portrait. Picasso did a few of those. Basically what he saw himself as or representing dual sides to his own nature, the giant wolf and the elf. But yeah I always figured he could turn into a wolf if he wanted to. I mean, in DAO mages could turn into stuff if they went down the shapeshifting line (if they were taught to do so by Morrigan) so why couldn't Solas? ... other than shapeshifting wasn't implemented in the game as such.

Yes, both figures represent him, but the wolf is a lot more detailed. XD I can't wait to see him in action. Also, they might bring back the shapeshifting ability, since apparently it's going to be a thing. Maybe we'll finally get to do what Hawke never did.

Perhaps shapeshifting into something that isn't a copy of what exists in reality (like, for example, a six-eyed/ginormous wolf or a wolf-form with... uh... personal customizations?) is more nuanced and/or difficult? Anyway - we never had a direct confirmation that Solas can shapesift into a wolf, but PW has teased the possibility a while ago...

And then write Hawke a letter about how awesome being a dragon is, if they're alive.
I hope the magic system gets some tweaking in the next game. I mean... they've tweaked it every game so far, so it's likely that will continue. I just found playing a mage so much more fun in DA2 than either of my attempts in DAO and DAI. The philosophy of "you hit a button and something awesome happens" actually worked for mages in that game really well. It couldn't be over the top like it got for the rogues and warriors for some people, cus its *magic*, its "over the top" by definition. DAO had a lot of creative ideas, without the graphical oomph to back them up (imo) and DAI's magic felt slower and hamstringed (again imo) to just different flavors of the elements until you got to the specs.
I don't think they'll necessarily bring back things like shapeshiftingfor the player. I'd settle for the creation tree. But i do hope they revisit their concepts for the player-accessible end of the magic system. Especially if we're in Tevinter, of all places.

But i do hope they revisit their concepts for the player-accessible end of the magic system. Especially if we're in Tevinter, of all places. Yes, I also had a ton of fun playing a mage in DA:I, and if I started messing around with builds I didn't get bored (though it's easier just to spam 3 attacks if you're in a hurry). I miss all of the big glyph combos and large AoE attacks like Storm of the Century from DA:O, but those were also insanely broken. My Surana was an Arcane Warrior/Battlemage, so I used the heck out of the Spirit and Primal trees. I can take or leave shapeshifting for a mage PC, personally, but I think it would be fun to have a shapeshifting companion again. They started dropping big hints that at least some elves used to be able to change form at will (Birds of Fancy codex), and powerful demons like Imshael and spirits like Cole, can become corporeal or incorporeal as needed, so there may be some shenanigans. All the joking the devs did about catgirls made me wonder if there's already a shapeshifter in the lineup. Omg, I am so sleep-deprived right now.

I wonder now whether he had Usagi's hair at one point and decided to shave it all after he realized just how goofy he looked...

Also, I've had this question burning the inside of my skull for a while.
Since Solas's ancient murals are predominantly auto-portraits... do they technically qualify as selfies?

So in the Solas romance, in Trespasser, Solas can say "I would not have you see what I become," if you attempt to get him to allow you to go with him. Someone posted this pic, theorizing he might become an Archdemon after infecting himself with the Blight. So a chessmaster Archdemon. Not something I'd want to have on the table. I'm thinking I need to light a fire under my Warden's ass, because I'm going to need a cure for the Blight posthaste.

Everytime I see his self portrait, I imagine him singing "I gotta be meeeeeee! I gotta be meeee! Who else can I be, but what I AMMMMM?!" See, I hear Julie Andrews. The arms just being out like that makes me think he's about to break out into "THE HILLS ARE ALIVE!!!"
Showing my age, maybe. lol

But this observation almost makes me not care. lol Good job, Tea. Wish we had an applause emote.

1) Salior Moon Solas...a fun idea. But i see him more as Tuxedo mask ( Tuxedo Wolf?} *throw rose on the Ground* "I believe in you Sailor Lavellen!" *flees into the night*
2) the self portraits... i think are more a visual diary then selfies or self promotion:
join #teamdreadwolf get free tattoo removal and frilly cakes
but i can easily see "Let it Go" play in the background.

The use of tarot cards for characters in each game got me thinking; Solas as Joker from Persona 5, with all the Inquisition members as his confidants?
